And both of these has a different ISO diameter than what most people think of as a 26 inch tire.

Not surprising - my wife told me that her co-worker did the same (but this was two weeks ago, so they must have been in a slightly higher risk category). I also checked with some of the smaller cities, outside of the MSP metro but within 75 miles or so, and didn't see anything there, either.

is the letter "C" being misconstrued as "width in millimeters".

edit: looks like it's the survivor of the old French "A/B/C" system. C for Clincher could be a backronym.

You still see some of it out there, especially with some older tri bikes using 650C (571mm) and the recent resurgence of 650B (584mm) wheels. This is a case of things not following the original trend because 650C is typically the domain of skinny tires, but even fat bikes are using the 650B rim size nowadays.
Ever heard of 700D? It's just a wee bit smaller than 650B - previously used by GT on some selected hybrid bikes.
